Sant'Elia
Sicily - Britta Bohn

Village with beach

Just want to chill out? Preferably with an aperitif in a pleasant atmosphere? No problem.

In Sant'Elia, we add a little more: What did you think of a bar with a sea view in a fishing village and a beach right on your doorstep? Yes, all at the same time!

Just around the corner is the magical bay in our photo. It was taken on 31 October 2022 and, as you can see, you have this bay almost to yourself out of season.

Below you will find a list of all Sicily - All in one Place maps.

Sicily - All in one Place - Santa Flavia - The beach of Sant'Elia

Beach

Probably the most beautiful beach in Santa Flavia is located in the centre of the Sant'Elia district. It not only offers fine sand, but also several bars and a children's playground - and it's free.

Why is the village beach of Sant'Elia still not hopelessly overcrowded? Simply because there are only a few car parks here. So it's better to come by bike.

Bathing bay

This bathing bay is magical. No wonder the majority of the 1500 visitors on Google Maps gave it five stars.

Our photo was taken on 31 October 2022, so if you book a holiday letting in Sant'Elia in autumn, you'll have the bay almost to yourself - and the water still offers a summery warmth.

Important: Because of the rocks, we recommend the bay only for experienced swimmers.

The rocky outcrop 'La Punta'

Are you looking for a spot to take photos with a like guarantee? Then this rocky outcrop is perfect for you - especially at sunrise. So it's good if you have a holiday letting just around the corner.

Getting up early is rewarded with a fantastic view: the rising sun bathes the sea, the rocks, the seagulls and returning fishing boats in a warm light. And you have everything to yourself. Almost always.

'Il Kafara' beach

The large beach "Il Kafara" is located on the edge of Sant'Elia. Not only is it free to use, but in summer it even has a small, improvised bar. No wonder it is very popular on summer weekends.

There is even a car park opposite the entrance to the beach. To get a free space, however, you have to arrive early in the morning on warm weekends. Here too, it is therefore advisable to use a bike.
